You know the proverb “slow and steady wins the race”? Well for Andres Giraldo Florez, chef-owner of the soon-to-open Snail Bar in Oakland’s Temescal district, it has certainly been a slow, steady, if not slightly meandering snail trail, if you will.
When I first spoke with Florez in September 2020, he was waiting to pass inspection on his closet-turned-wine bar at West Oakland’s Classic Cars West. The bar was stocked with natural, organic and biodynamic vintages from all over the world and the food menu was set with comforting, seasonal bites using ingredients sourced from small, local producers. Florez was filled with palpable excitement at the time he had forged a partnership with Slow Food East Bay’s Sister Farms, which works with regional farms owned by Black farmers and other underrepresented communities impacted by COVID-19.
Snail Bar will be a devoted natural wine bar in Temescal
